Sanjay Dutt and Richa Sharma’s marital life was a bliss but the happiness didn’t last long as she was diagnosed with a terminal illness of brain tumour. Richa had then gone to the US for her medical treatment, while Sanjay had juggled between India and the US, courtesy his professional commitments and personal life. Sanjay was then accused of possession of illegal arms and was sent to jail under TADA. Both Sanjay and Richa were fighting their own battles and time kept flying by. Post Richa's demise, Trishala has been staying with her maternal grandparents in the US. (Also Read: Sanjay Dutt's Sister, Priya Dutt Recalled An Incident When Nargis Dutt Thought Sanjay Was Gay)

I don’t know where or who that came from but No, it’s not true” followed by an eye roll, thumbs down and facepalm emoji. The background of her IG story was Boomerang video of Sanjay and Trishala, wherein he gave a peck on her cheek.
